    @hlbkv gnome software can handle debs and flatpaks (and on Ubuntu also snaps I think). The app itself is a deb, so it is not surprising that it can be installed. The apps that end up being able to be installed with it are probably also debs.

    Just an update, I gave up on trying the KDEConnect workaround. I did some deep investigation on resolving the issue within Waydroid itself, and documented my progress. It's definitely a feature-request in Waydroid. https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/211 I haven't done any more work on it for a while, since my last post on github. There are a few libs being used in Waydroid, which I linked to, which have sparse documentation. I don't have deep enough knowledge of these languages and platforms to be able to fix this easily - not to mention android's workflow for builds. Wasn't able to do a build of LineageOS on my PC; some incompatibility with package versions. It'd be nice to resolve this for everybody who uses Waydroid, but IRL is taking priority for now.

    @Stefano It's probably due to some wolves lurking around in the camera driver of the N5. I'm using Skype very little, so i think i'll first just wait for next week's OTA update to see what that brings me.

    @Ignorance Also I know it might be obvious but make sure the phone is awake and the lock screen iron whatever is not in operation, that always gives me the unmountable message. Sometimes unto 4 messages on screen at the sometime as the laptop tries to connect.

    just an update: my battery went empty and after I booted the phone the indicator was back again. (problem gone) Not sure what solved it, maybe the toggle of the rotation lock switch in system settings followed by a reboot...

    Hmm few comments: We did not change anything that I know that would make necessary these huge steps to get the db working again, I totally dont understand what happened here. Backup/Restore of my data worked when wiping several phones... BR

    @Teigneux Maybe it could be that both your and my phone denies mms, but your provider just scrap it whereas my provider stores it and send that notification? Could be worth calling them to get some help figuring out.

    @wgarcia said in Flashlight/torch for Nexus 5: @vandys It works for me, I'm using the development channel in the Nexus 5 Interesting. Probably a permission problem, then. I'll check it out further when I can afford to have my phone interrupted. Thanks again.

    Everything looks ok as far as I can tell. The part about not finding the "clickable.json" is just to let you know that it's falling back to autodetecting the project template (which doesn't matter as much when running clickable setup-lxd). You should be good to use clickable on your project now.

    @mlinodasilva I have not such a problem with sound, but other users reported that already. So yes a bug. You can still install some scopes from Canonical Ubuntu store. Maybe not all, but most yes.

    @ITwrx I've fiddled around a bit with your script and another one by myself and found a few things: aa-exec /path/to/script.sh or exec /path/to/script.sh will only work (reliable) from the terminal app, at first it wouldn't work via adb. Just tested it again while writing this lines and now it works via adb shell as well however, exec will close the shell when your script is executed, aa-exec or bash your_script.sh will not. (This is just FYI, not related to your goal) If you include the line X-Ubuntu-Application-ID=my_script you can execute it via adb/terminal app using ubuntu-app-launch my_script and this has interestingly different errors when run from adb (WARNING **: Unable to find keyfile for application 'my_script') and terminal-app (WARNING **: Unable to start app 'my_script': Keyfile does not represent application type) respectively. I think this is the actual problem which is somehow related to the Glib key-value file parser. (the type=Application value in the desktop file AFAIK) i think it is somehow related to the Ubuntu-App-Launcher however with my skills this is as far as i can get.... After running the command ubuntu-app-launch my_script a second time (there is some magic going on that makes doing the exact same stuff multiple times have multiple results ;-D) the error changes both via adb and terminal to ** (process:16881): CRITICAL **: Error parsing manifest for package 'my': my does not exist in any database for user phablet ** (process:16881): WARNING **: Unable to start app 'my_script': AppID is empty I hope this may help you or others, if you find a solution how to make the app-launcher believe there is a correct keyfile or whatever the problem here is please let us know! Addendum I just wanted to say that either something with your script or with my phone (Nexus 4 on old Multirom Ubuntu Canoncial 15.04 r602) is strange. I tested with another script i called "skript" that had a similar .desktop file, only with the X-Ubuntu-Application-ID=skript and this always puts out the same error when trying to execute via ubuntu-app-launch skript (WARNING **: Unable to start app 'skript': Keyfile does not represent application type) but for your "my_script" that i placed in the exact same places as you described, the beahviour was on first try the same, then it changed to the error above which seems to indicate that the ubuntu-app-launcher doesn't get the "_" and than thinks the AppID (which is declared in the exact same way as for my skript.sh) is empty.... and if i change the X-Ubuntu-Application-ID=my_script to X-Ubuntu-Application-ID=myscript the "parsing manifest for package 'my'" error vanishes but it still thinks the AppID is empty (by the way, skript.sh is just: #!/bin/bash echo "simple test echo" and the .desktop file [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Skript Exec=exec /bin/bash home/phablet/Documents/skript.sh Icon=home/phablet/Pictures/carrot.png Terminal=true Type=Application X-Ubuntu-Touch=true X-Ubuntu-Default-Department-ID=accesories X-Ubuntu-Application-ID=skript )

    I had this exact problem this week. I know what caused it for me. I used Tweakgeek to delete de External drive app on my Nexus 5 because there is no SD slot on the Nexus 5 and I didn't want to see the icon anymore. My phone started to overheat and use battery like crazy. I restarted the phone and there was no more network indicator like in your screenshots. Also, for some reason all my unused space started to fill up (with error logs I bet). I updated from the legacy channel to OTA 1 and it didn't resolve the problem. I flashed the phone to OTA 1 and now it's resolved.
